FAQ
My studio is located in Glenadrienne, Sandton and is equipped with a sprung floor, making it perfect for dancers. The studio also features a wall of mirrors and a barre, allowing dancers to warm up their limbs prior to the start of a shoot.
I offer on-location photo sessions and the first 25km round trip is included in the photoshoot package. However, a travel fee of R7.00 per km applies for distances beyond the initial 25km. Please note that venue fees are NOT included in the photoshoot package and must be covered by the client.
Studio sessions are available during weekdays and Saturdays, between 9am and 12pm. However, I am flexible and open to discussing a time that works for you.
Please note that the start time of sessions remains as scheduled and not based on your arrival time. This may result in reduced session time and fewer final images.
Dancers are requested to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to their scheduled time for proper warm-up before the start of the shoot.
The editing process for headshots will take 2-3 business days and 2-4 weeks for dance photoshoots. During high-volume periods, you will be informed of the expected editing timeline beforehand.
The photographer will select the best images based on professional judgment and present an unedited gallery. The client will then make their final selections based on their chosen package and these will be edited for their use.
Your images will be accessible through an online gallery and will remain available for 4 weeks from the date of publishing. It is advisable for clients to download and securely store their images before the gallery expires.

After selecting a package, you can reach me via email or WhatsApp or send me a note via the website. You will receive an invoice with payment information. A 50% deposit is required to secure your booking date, with the remaining balance due 2 days before your photoshoot.

A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE
If you have any questions or need a custom quote send us an email to info@photonette.co.za.
PHOTOSHOOT SCHEDULE
We will reach out to you as soon as possible to confirm all the details. It’s always better to plan the shoot in advance, at least 2 – 3 weeks before.
OUTFITS FOR THE SHOOT
Please make sure clothes are pressed and clean, and try new clothes on before the shoot, we don’t recommend wearing baggy, bulky-fitting clothing. Make a final decision on the outfit for your employees before the shoot, and pay attention to such details as corporate branded accessories, tie and so on.
BACKGROUND COLOUR
If you already have a certain website style and would like to replicate it, please let us know, so we can prepare/bring all the equipment. On the other hand, if you’re not quite sure about what background/style of the headshots you want to go with, you can ask us and we will guide and help you to make the final decision.
REMINDER
Please send a reminder to your team members and ask them to come prepared and sleep well before the shoot.
ARRIVAL TIME
We always come at least 30 minutes before the shoot to make sure we’re all set and ready to go on time for you.
RIGHT SPOT IN YOUR OFFICE
Prepare a spot in your office for the shoot. Don’t worry about the natural lighting, as we bring our own strobe light. We don’t need a lot of space, we can even set it up in a hallway. On the other hand, it’s always better to have an allocated space, like a conference room, as it will be more comfortable for your team members, so they can feel more relaxed during the shoot.
TEST PHOTO
We will do a series of test photos before we start the actual shoot to make sure that everything looks exactly as you desire.
PHOTO EDITING PROCESS
Our retouching services include making any necessary adjustments to skin texture, removing any imperfections, adding brightness to teeth and background corrections. If you’re planning to use these photos for your corporate website, we can even work directly with your web designer to make sure all the requirements are met.
EXTRA OPTIONS
We can always provide extra options for you, such as candid and group shots, that you can use as marketing materials. Just let us know if anything else is needed.
TURNAROUND TIME
Our turnaround time is usually 7-10 workdays. We’ll send you a link to download all the digital files.
